Saying Hi

Hi folks from me and my 40d, I'm a huge x5 nut having had one of each series so far, here's my 40d which is just coming out of warranty so traded it and pick up my new M50d next week

Amen to ^^^^^^^

I really like my 35d!

But, I too am very jealous that ROW gets the 40 & 50d and NA gets neither.

Enjoy your ride for us, too.

Likewise, it's a safe bet you got a better deal than me, they're an arm and a leg here 😧

I'm told its a price point issue i.e they are unsellable in volume in your market

They say that ALPINAs don’t sell well here, either.
Our local dealer sells several of those every year, go figure.

All I’m saying is that, while they wouldn’t be huge #s, if an 50d was offered in NA they would sell more than a handful.

I say it is a classic BMW marketing thing. Same engine in 35d as 40d, they are waiting to bring it in with 2019 MY and then everyone will want it and switch from 35d. They play that game in the US a lot. Well.... at least hoping that!

Well, not really. Same engine yes, but 1 extra turbo and 55 extra horsepowers in the 40d compared to the 35d.
In europe 35d is 30d.
